Naked Nachos

Rachel Morrow RACHEL MORROW

Nachos are notorious for being a decadent, cheesy meal, easy to make but often leaving you feeling like you need an hour nap after eating them.

For us, nachos are all about the flavor in the toppings and a plant-based version like these naked nachos are packed with ingredients that also pack a nutritional punch.

Ingredients

Sweet Potato Chips

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
  • Pinch of unrefined sea salt

Simple Guacamole

  • 1 avocado
  • ½ lime, juiced
  • Pinch of unrefined sea salt

Chunky Salsa

  • 1 tomato, diced
  • ¼ red onion, diced
  • 1 x 14 fl oz (400g) can black beans, rinsed
  • ½ lime, juiced
  • ¼ bunch cilantro (coriander), chopped
  • Pinch of unrefined sea salt and pepper

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Peel and slice the sweet potato into thin discs, about half a centimeter thick, and place in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, a pinch of paprika and sea salt. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and then arrange the sweet potato slices on it. Put in the oven to roast for 20 - 25 minutes.
  3. While the sweet potatoes are in the oven, prepare the guacamole and salsa.
  4. Once the potatoes are cooked, add half of the sweet potatoes to a bowl, top with half of the salsa, and a big dollop of the guacamole.
